Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving break was just last week. And I personally enjoyed it a lot. Its only one week and of course it was Thanksgiving!
I gave thanks for my beautiful family that I have, for my great education, my friends,my teachers, and my good health.
Whats better than spending a afternoon with your family and eating really good food!!! My favorite food in Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes with gravy!!! Most people eat turkey. But not everybody! Did you know some eat ribs,ham etc? Its interesting to know what kind of meat some family's eat for Thanksgiving.
Many family's traveled. I've heard that many people went to Tennessee. Some to Ohio. And many more places.
I enjoyed Thanksgiving Break!!!

Captain Pirate
I interviewed Fiona C. (Captain Pirate) to see what she thought of the musical.
What is one of your favorite scenes in the musical?
Probable scene two because it is one of the first songs i'm in?
How do you feel about being one of the main characters?
Excited but at the same time nervous.
How do you think the musical will go?
I think it will go great because we have practiced a bunch and everything sounds really good.
Is it hard talking in a pirate voice?
Kind of. The only problem is that I smile too much.
Was it hard to memorize your lines?
-Camille F.
Some of them. But a lot of them were funny and easy to remember. The hardest was one of my last lines.

Election Results!!
Hey guys,
The election was on November 6. A few weeks ago I took a poll and posted it. If you read it then you know that Obama won but that was only for Ms. Wilcox’s class. A few days later Ms. Hudson announced that 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade voted and guess who won? OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!! He didn't only win the school election. He won the real election.
The day before the election my class went to the library. Ms. Hudson showed us three kinds of ads the candidates made. One showed them being nice. Another one showed them telling us what would happen if the other candidate wins. The other one showed then telling us their plan for america. Ms.Hudson also told us how voting changed since the 18th century.
After the election Ms.Wilcox showed us Obama’s victory speech. After that we watched Mitt Romney concession speech. When I was watching the news I heard many people say that they voted for Obama. The reason they voted for him is because they thought he just needed more time as president. So I hope Obama has a nice 4 years as president. Bye!!!

Can-a-thon
At Chase Street school every year we do this contest called Can-a-thon. In the contest every class collects cans and at the end whoever has the most cans wins! If you win you get to go on a walking field trip to the food bank.
The reason for this contest is so Chase Street can help the people that live around there that can't afford to buy food for themselves. It is important because it's nice to help your community. The food bank in Athens is called The Athens Area Emergency Food Bank which they are the ones that give the food to the people.
Last year Mrs. Fielding's class won the Can-a-thon. Let's see who wins this year!!!

Field trips
On Wednesday 5th grade is going on a field trip to the Georgia Museum of Art. Ms.Dean said that we are going o look at sculptures, paintings, drawings, etc. I can't tell you a lot about it, because it hasn't happened yet.
But I know that we are going on two big field trips, this spring. I don't know what they are, because the teachers want it to be a secret. If you read the blog this spring you probably will hear about it.
I really want to know what the two big field trips are but I'll have to wait till spring. So that's all I can tell you about the field trips.

The Presentation in the Library!!!
The 5th grade teachers had a surprise for the students. We then found out special people were coming to talk to us about recycling.
Ms. Jill told us many story's that they know about animals that almost died or died because of all that debris in the ocean. Debris is trash that floats in the ocean. One of the animals was a turtle named Guss. He gladly survived!!!! But there was also another turtle named GreyStone. He sadly died. He was way to weak to even move.
At the end of the presentation they gave us a bag with a book about Debris. And a bookmark that smelled like lavender! And much more!!!

Last week there was a wedding party for Ms.Thompson. It was during intervention. Ms.Larson ( the former 5th grade teacher) brought donuts, Ari brought cookies, and Takiya brought juice.
After we where done eating we had extra recess. But we had 30 min.
I thought that was fun. So that was the wedding party.

New Netbooks!
Hey guys,
On Monday the whole 5th grade got their netbooks! There are lots of rules for netbooks. Like you have to hold your netbooks with two hands or else it will drop and break. The netbooks are windows 7 and they are really fast. If you get on something you're not supposed to get on you may lose your privileges to use it.
When we got the netbooks we had to check them out like library books. At the bottom of it there is a sticker with your name a letter and a numbers. When we got the netbooks we got on Google Chrome to check our emails. Ms.Wilcox would just sent us random emails like what’s your favorite color and stuff. You should see how happy the 5th grade gets when the teachers say we can use the netbooks. Okay bye guys.
